There is another recurrence with coefficients of degree 2:

- (2*n^2 + 4*n + 2) * a(n) + (5*n^2 + 13*n + 8) * a(n+1) - (111*n^2 +
438*n + 417) * a(n+2) - (55*n^2 + 389*n + 685) * a(n+3) + (n^2 + 8*n +
16) * a(n+4) = 0

or in the factored form:

- 2*(n+1)^2 * a(n) + (n+1)*(5n+8) * a(n+1) - 3*(37*n^2 + 146*n + 139)
* a(n+2) - (55*n^2 + 389*n + 685) * a(n+3) + (n+4)^2 * a(n+4) = 0.
